Well...

This is the way I feel right now.

Sentence Analysis

Ouch, sentence analysis is hard. Really hard! Actually, I do not understand it at all! You have a sentence and in the sentence you have clauses and in the clauses you will have subject, predicator, conjuctions(which you need to divide in subordinating conjuction and coordinating conjunctions). I can go one but you won't understand I suppose. Nevertheless, it is a lot. I have the test tomorrow and I am asking myself right now how I will survive. I do not know. Of course, I will have several changes to pass this test. Although, I want to pass it tomorrow.

I CAN, I WILL, I MUST!

Teaching practice

Ok. My coach from Windesheim came to Emmeloord today to see how I teach. It went ok! He was satisfied enough.

Thank god

OMG...

Hmmm, homework. I need to do a lot. Sentence analysis, tesg, lan, drama, brp, teaching practice. You name it. Next week we will have a test week. I have 4 tests: Oral, writing, sentence analysis and at least phonetics! I need to pass phonetics! Otherwise, I am not welcome anymore.

Pray for me

Worldwise week

Worldwise week is about sharing each others passion. A lot of teachers come from different kind of countries: India, Kenia, Indonesia etc. I have two lovely women who are from Indonesia. They shared their passion about teaching. However, for them it is completely different because they do not have the materials we have and they do not have enough classrooms for their students. The solution for them is to teach a class that consists out of 50 - 60 pupils. Which is a lot of course. She told me, Sri, that her pupils are demotivated and she wants to motivate them. We told her that she can use some English games or that she has to take into account their frame of references. We had two workshops today and one was about the passion and the other one was about similarities and differences between Indonesia and Holland! It was informative. We discussed about it and we decided that Holland inhabitants are spoiled. Not all of them though but the most of them are. I am spoiled as well. Later on the day we were formed in groups. We had to come up with a solution or an idea for Sri's problem: learners have a lack of motivation. We decided that it was fun to create a language villages over there and we come up with a lovely idea: we are going to put ourselves on camara and we tell that it is important to learn English. We give this film to Sri and she can show it to her pupils. We will give our e-mail addresses, because we want to motivate them to sign up and to talk with us in English of course, because we can't speak their language. Tomorrow we will have another workshop and we will work on our presentation for Friday. We need to presentate what we have learned and what we come up with for a solution to Sri's problem. Friday we need to prepare a Dutch breakfast for the quests. It is funny though, because Sri and Amy told us that they eat rise three times a day. They do not eat bread or eggs or potatoes etc. Friday in the evening the quests will leave to their country again, I suppose. I am not sure though. After Friday the normal school week starts again and then we need to work hard again and after that week we will have tests and we need to hand in portfolios.

Wish me goodluck!

Oh Boy...

I am talking with a boy for a couple of weeks now and we planned to have a date on Saturday evening. This is our first date. We decided that I will go to Amsterdam by train in the evening, because I have to work on Saturday. I told my mum that it wasn't a good idea for me to go back late in the evening by train because that is too scary! So I explained that I am going to stay with him and that I will stay a night with him. She told me that it was okay! So up comming Saturday I will go to Amsterdam!!!

I am little bit afraid though

Can't anybody see we have got a war to fight?

Every single day children are victims of child abuse. 107,000 children are abused the past year. There are a lot of commercials on TV regarding child abuse. Everybody knows the commercial where a child, who was visiting his grandma and granddad with his parents, needs to get into the car and when he opens the door there are letters that say: I wish you were never born. It breaks my heart to see this because we all know that this kind of things happen in this world.

It is sad.

NICE!!!!!

Wazzup!

No, I am not dead I am just tired...

Too Early...

Yesterday I went to bed around 00.00 o'clock because I had to finish my homework. I started with writing 'letter to the editor.'' I write about the Swedish cartoonist. I needed to get up around 6 o'clock because I had to leave around 7. But I overslept. I woke up around 6.45. I asked my mum is she could bring me to the busstation. She said yes. I slept in the bus. I woke up in Emmeloord which was fine, because I had to get out of the bus in Emmeloord.

.... Wait I need to help a learner....

He recognized his footsteps...

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?"

The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way."
What he had written was: "Today is a beautiful day & I cannot see it."


Be thankful for what you have!

Boysboysboys!

Last Friday I had a date with Tristan. He is 23 years old. He is actually not the type which I date often or like but I thought let's give him a chance. So I did. He picked me up and we went to a café by car. We drunk a few drinks and we talked and laughed a lot. After a while we decided that we wanted to go pooling. I told him that I wasn't that good but I found out that he wasn't either! hahah. However, I lost all the matches. The date lasted till 01.00 o'clock. It was a nice date with a nice guy.

Still he isn't my type but I gave him a chance!

It was a lovely evening though!

Tired

Friday evening was a lovely evening. I came home at 01.00 o'clock. Which I thought was not that late. However, I woke up at 17.00 o'clock!!! I slept for 16 hours! And I planned to go out that evening so again, I went to bed around 2 o'clock and I couldn't sleep the entire night. Now I am really tired. I have to go to work about one hour. Maybe I will fall a sleep during work.

We will see.
